Beta Value = Volatility ... Number higher than 2 = volatile stock. Number lower than 1 = slow moving stock. 1 = normal volatility (half of stocks are more volatile and half of stocks are less volatile).
Fast Stochastic # higher than 80% (above red line) = Stocks are overbought (not a good time to buy).
Fast Stochastic # lower than 20% (below bottom red line) = Stocks are oversold (good time to buy!!!)
